A Saucerful Of Secrets
LET THERE BE MORE LIGHT
Lyrics by R. Waters
Far far far far away away
People heard him say say
I will find a way way
There will come a day day
Something will be done
Then at last the mighty ship descending on a point of flame
Made contact with the human race at Mildenhall
Now now now is the time time time
To be be be aware
Carter’s father saw it there and knew the Rhull revealed to him
The living soul of Hereward the Wake
Oh my, something in my eye eye
Something in the sky sky
Waiting there for me
The outer lock rolled slowly back
the serviceman were heard to sigh
For there revealed in flowing robes was Lucy in the sky
Oh oh did you ever?
No no never ever will they
I’ll say!
Summoning his casmic power
and glowing slightly from his toes
His psychic emanations flowed
REMEMBER A DAY
Lyrics by R. Wright
Remember a day befor today,
A day when you were young,
Free to play along with time,
Evening never comes.
Sing a song that can’t be sung
Without the morning’s kiss.
Queen you shall be if you wish
Look for your king.
Why can’t we play today?
Why can’t we stay that way?
Climb your favourite apple tree,
Try to catch the sun,
Hide from your little brother’s gun,
Dream yourself away.
Why can’t we reach the sun?
Why can’t we blow the years away?
Blow away blow away…
SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN
Lyrics by R. Waters
Little by little the night turns around
Counting the leaves that tremble at dawn
Lotus’s lean on each other in yerning
Over the hills a swallow is resting
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
Over the mountain watching the watcher
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine
Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
Witness the man who waves as the wall
Making the shape of his question to heaven
Whether the sun will fall in the evening?
Will he remember the lesson of giving?
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
CORPORAL CLEGG
Lyrics by R. Waters
Corporal Clegg had a wooden leg,
He won it in the war,
In nineteen forty four.
Corporal Clegg had a medal too,
In orange, red and blue.
He found it in the zoo.
Dear oh dear, oh are they really sad for me?
Dear oh dear, oh will they really laugh at me?
Missus Clegg, you must be proud of him.
Missus Slegg, another drop of gin?
Corporal Clegg, umbrella in the rain.
He’s never been the same,
No one is too blame.
Corporal Clegg recieved his medal in a dream
From her Majesty, the Queen.
His boots ware very clean.
Missus Clegg, you must be proud of him.
Missus Clegg, another drop of gin?

SEE-SAW
Lyrics by R. Wright
Marigolds are very much in love
But he doesn’t mind.
Picking up sister
He makes his way in to the see-saw land.
All the way she smiles.
She goes up while he goes down, down.
Sits on a stick in the river,
Laughter in his sleep.
Sister’s throwing stones hoping for a hit
He doesn’t know, so then
She goes up while he goes down, down.
Another time, another day,
A brother’s way to leave.
Another time, another day.
Selling plastic flowers on a Sunday afternoon,
Picking up weeds,
She hasn’t got time to care.
All can see he’s not there.
She grows up for another man, and he’s down.
Another time, another day,
A brother’s way to leave.
Another time, another day.
JUGBAND BLUES
Lyrics by S. Barrett
It’s awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And I almost obliged to you for making it clear that I’m not here
And I never knew the moon cloud be so big
And I never knew the moon cloud be so blue
And i’m grateful that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And I’m wondering who could be writtin this song
I don’t care if the sun doesn’t shine
And I don’t care of nothing is mine
And I don’t care if I’m nervous with you
I’ll do my loving in the Winter
And the sea isn’t green
And I love the queen
And what exactly is a dream?
And what exactly is a joke?
This album was released in 1968.
